Fantastic capture, these warthogs can be quite a handful, especially if they have young around, they can really shift and do some serious damage to a human, head like a bulldozer. You were in the best place to be when capturing images of these guys, or maybe a jeep.

years ago a tenant that was living in a house that I took care of had a boars head delivered that her 10 year old son and killed on a hunt with his father. she called me in to see it. I asked her to loan it to me for a minute. I had a man working for me and he had one foot on an ac unit and the other on a step ladder painting a window. I tapped on the glass and held up the head to the glass. he was so frightened that he almost fell off! there are many in Texas, but luckily they stay away from cities for the most part. they do kill many dogs. outstanding photo and dedication

My but he/she looks like a big one. I do like these. They fall into a category of "so ugly they are cute". And they are completely fearless. I don't know if I've told this story before but once, watching a nature program, I saw a segment where a leopard was stalking a group of piglets. While mom herded them towards their burrow dad chased away the leopard, And the leopard ran away in panic!

Well I find him rather attractive in a similar way to those elderly Army officers that used to be around.

I've only taken one photo of a wart hog and he was deep in mud, as are most photos, so I love this one! Andrea is right, they are very similar to old army officers!

Well now, lookee heah, a great shot of one of the ugliest creatures on God's green earth. I ran into these warthogs when lost in the bayous of Louisiana while on Army maneuvers. Terrific clarity and detail in this pic, Carin.
